Abstract:
Dialkali salts of orthosilicic acid diesters, e.g. disodium orthosilicic acid dimethyl ester, are obtained by reaction of an alkali hydroxide with an orthosilicic acid tetraester. The dialkali salts of orthosilicic acid diesters are useful products for surface treatment of glass plates or glass fibers by tackling or etching.
Abstract:
Process for the production of potassium titanyl oxalate which comprises heating a tetraalkyl titanate with about three times the molar amount of water and twice the molar amount of potassium hydrogen oxalate. If desired, two thirds of the water is added initially and the balance subsequently. A solvent such as an alkanol may be employed. Advantageously the reaction, distillation of volatiles, crystallization and drying are all performed in the same vessel.
Abstract:
Phosphorus-containing compounds, especially alkyl phosphates, of the formula wherein A is oxygen or sulfur, g and n are 0 or 1, and R1, R2 and R3, which may be the same or different, are alkyl, cycloalkyl or aryl wherein R1 may be substituted with one or more halogen atoms; are formed from the corresponding halo- or halo-alkoxyphosphorus compounds and a hydroxy-containing organic compound by reaction therebetween under gradual increase of temperature and simultaneous decrease in pressure, over an organo oxy compound catalyst comprising an element of Group II, IV or V of the Periodic System having an atomic number of between 12 and 83, in amounts of from 0.001 to 2 per cent by weight, based on the amount of starting phosphorus compound reactant.
Abstract:
PREPARATION OF ALCOHOLATES OF ORTHOVANADIC ACID, CALLED VANADIUM OXY ESTERS OR VANDYL ESTERS, HAVING THE GENERAL FORMULA:
VO(OR)3
IN WHICH R REPRESENTS ALKYL OR CYCLOALKYL RADICALS, ESPECIALLY THOSE HAVING 1 TO 5 CARBON ATOMS IN THE ALKYL RADICAL, BY THE REACTION OF VANADIUM PENTOXIDE WITH ANHYDROUS ALCOHOLS.
Abstract:
In a tubular reactor carrying a bed of solid material into which carbon electrodes project for heating the material upon passage of a current, the outside ends of said electrodes being connected to metallic conductors in turn connected to a supply of current, the invention involves pouring lead about the end of each electrode to effect improved contact between the electrode and its respective metallic conductor. The process involving use of such electrodes to react carbon with chlorine and the oxide of silicon or metals such as vanadium, titanium or zirconium is also covered.
Abstract:
In the manufacture of a polyurethane by the reaction of a polyol with a polyisocyanate in the presence of a catalyst and in the absence of water, the catalyst used is an organic zirconium compound, preferably a zirconium alcoholate or phenolate, having the formula: (Y)mZr(YR)4 2m WHEREIN: Zr is a zirconium atom Y is an oxygen or sulfur atom R is an organic radical of up to 12 carbon atoms, which can be alike or different M IS 0 OR 1.
Abstract:
IN THE PRODUCTION OF VANADIUM OXYTRICHLORIDE WHEREIN VANADIUM PENTOXID, CARBON AND CHLORINE ARE REACTED, THE IMPROVEMENT WHICH COMPRISES EFFECTING THE REACTION BY CONTACTING A MIXTURE OF FINE-GRAINED VANADIUM PENTOXIDE AND CARBON IN THE FORM OF A GAS PERMEABLE LAYER ABOUT 0.5 TO 20 CM. HIGH WITH CHLORINE AT A TEMPERATURE OF ABOUT 350 TO 750*C. PREFERABLY THE PROCESS IS CARRIED OUT CONTINUOUSLY AND THE REACTION TEMPERATURE IS MAINTAINED AND CONTROLLED BY REGULATING THE RATE OF ADDITION OF THE REACTANTS. THE RESULTING VANADIUM OXYTRICHLORIDE IS VOLATILIZED AT A TEMPERATURE OF ABOUT 150*C. AND IS THEREAFTER CONDENSED.
Abstract:
AN ELECTRICAL INSULATING MATERIAL CONSISTS ESSENTIALLY OF: (1) A SINTERED MAGNESIA OF AT LEAST 94 WEIGHT PERCENT PURITY, AND (2) 0.1 TO 7 WEIGHT PERCENT OF A SILICA GEL HAVING A SPECIFIC SURFACE AREA IN THE RANGE OF 50 TO 1100 M.2/G., AND A SIZE LESS THAN 370U, PREFERABLY LESS THAN 70U. THIS INSULATING MATERIAL IS PARTICULARLY USEFUL IN THE MANUFACTURE OF TUBULAR HEATING COILS AND INSULATORS.
Abstract:
In the manufacture of a polyurethane by the reaction of a polyol with a polyisocyanate in the presence of a catalyst and in the absence of water, the catalyst used is an organic vanadium compound, preferably a vanadium or vanadyl alcoholate or phenolate, having the formula: (Y)mV(YR)a 2m WHEREIN: V is a vanadium atom Y is an oxygen or sulfur atom R is an organic radical, which can be alike or different if the molecule contains more than one A IS 4 OR 5 M IS 0 OR 1 WHEN A IS 4, AND 1 WHEN A IS 5.
Abstract:
COMPOUNDS OF THE FORMULA MG(OR)2-(ROH)N ARE PREPARED BY FIRST PRETREATING THE ALCOHOL, ROH, WITH THE ORTHOFORMIC ACID ESTER OF THAT ALCOHOL, AND THEN REACTING METALLIC MAGNESIUM WITH THE PRETREATED ALCOHOL, P-TOLUENESULFONIC ACID MAY ADDITIONALLY BE USED TO PRETREAT THE ALCOHOL.
